Interesting NashBuff. I sure hope so.
Oh well. From Article:
Liquidated damages. The exit payment from Nebraska and Colorado to the league has been estimated at $35 million to $40 million. Five schools – Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and Missouri – had pledged their portion to Texas, Oklahoma and Texas A&M to ensure at least $20 million annually to those three schools from the league. UT and OU have said they don't intend to collect. But the issue is still not settled. Beebe hopes a special meeting or teleconference of athletic directors next month might bring clarity.
Can I assume "UT and OU have said they don't intend to collect" is strictly referring to them not collecting the portion of exit payments that would be paid to Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and Missouri?
Might as well rule that out: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcon...es/stories/072510dnspocarltoncol.389a476.html
But Dan Beebe is hoping that things are cleared up next month in a special meeting among the Big 12's athletic directors.
How many times does it have to be clairified that CU OWES NOTHING? There are NO EXIT FEES in the Big 12 BYLAWS. The only thing that is going to happen is that the Big 12 will withhold money from NU and CU that's all.

Wjy do we have to rule 2011 out? From what I see the article only says that CU might stay until 2012, or may go in 2011....
I think he means that we can rule out getting an announcement from the Big 12 tomorrow.
Love Beebe's BS. What a joke!
“We came out as strong as I've ever observed this league in terms of the collegiality and the interest and the understanding that everybody needs everybody else,” Beebe said. “I've never seen such cohesion with this group of institutions.
“...It's kind of like a family spat and then you come back stronger and more appreciative of each other.”
Don Beebe is hysterical. He reminds me of Baghdad Bob. Or the Wizard of Oz. "Ignore Tommy Tuberville in the corner of the room."
Tommy Tuberville will be the last Big 12 coach to speak at the podium before Beebe's State of the Big 12 presenation...anyone notice that?
Saw on ESPN that Tuberville thinks USC should have to give up their national title. I'm really starting to like this guy.
